The Dream Trust was established in order to give back to the communities around us through donations and volunteer time.
Nationwide
To date The Dream Trust has supported a heap of deserving people who just need a little helping hand in life. Some of the people and organisations we have helped out to date include:
• Donated a bathroom for the rebuild of Cholmondeley House in Governors Bay after it was damaged in the Christchurch earthquakes. The House provides short term care for children whose families may be experiencing mental health issues, a physical illness, natural disasters or family violence issues.
• Supported four Kiwi kids for a year through KidsCan. Donations go towards food, shoes and raincoats for children living in poverty within New Zealand.
• Donated to the build of a Micro-Hydro-System project in Vanuatu. The project will help build sustainable rural livelihoods and strengthen national economic development.

• Emergency Health Kits through OXFAM for the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan.

Founded in 2013, The Dream Trust was established by the employees at ENGEO out of their desire to give back to the communities that have helped ENGEO grow into the company it is today. The Dream Trust is funded directly by the individual employees at ENGEO, ENGEO itself and anyone else who would like to support the organisation. The Dream Trust isn’t just about raising funds either, the staff at ENGEO love to get their sleeves rolled and hands dirty while helping the community where ever we are needed.
